to approve it let's remember the ultimate decision is on president obama's desk he needs to take what the e.p.a. and the state department and other agencies have been telling him and ideally what the american people have been telling him and make a decision on this pipeline over the last few weeks environmental groups and the average american to send over a million comments to the state department opposing this project now it's up to president obama to choose whether or not he's going to side with big oil and with the companies pushing this dirty project or with the american people who i think it made it pretty clear that they don't want this pipeline to be built i see so jamie there's certainly been a debate in this country over whether this pipeline is going to have a positive or a negative impact on both the local economies and the national economy is it going to affect either. well i think if that's the data bill you know when we looked actually into the numbers in terms of the jobs that would be created by this pipeline it looks about thirty five permanent jobs would be created y
